Calories: 224kcal
Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 white onion finely diced
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 8 oz cream cheese
- 3 cups cooked chicken diced or shredded small
- 1/2 cup parmesan cheese finely grated
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 sheet puff pastry
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees f/180 degrees c. Line a large baking tray with parchment paper and set aside.
- Get two small bowls and place one egg in each bowl. Whisk both eggs in separate bowls and set aside.
- In a medium skillet set over medium heat, add the olive oil and chopped onion. Give a good stir and cook for about 5 minutes until soft. Add the minced garlic and cook for a further 1 - 2 minutes until fragrant.
- Add the cream cheese and stir in until it completely incorporated into the onion. Remove skillet from heat.
- Add the chicken, parmesan cheese, fresh chives and all the seasonings. Pour in one of the whisked eggs and stir to completely combine. Set aside the filling.
- Remove the pastry from the fridge and cut into 16 squares. While the pastry is still cold, pick up a square and put a tablespoon of filling in the centre. Fold it over into a triangle and place it on the prepared baking tray. Press the sides down with a fork to make sure they seal properly. Repeat for all pastry and chicken filling.
- Using a pastry brush, brush the tops of the pastries with the other whisked egg. Use a fork to prick the tops of the pastries.
- Bake for about 20 - 25 minutes or until golden and puffed up. Remove from oven and leave on the baking tray for a few minutes to cool slightly.
- Remove from tray and transfer to a serving plate to serve warm.
